Kansas City Royals OF Travis Snider has chosen to remain in the organization and will not opt out for free agency. Snider has hit .259/.377/.348 in 162 plate appearances with Class AAA Omaha.

Fantasy Tip: This could be significant in case Alex Gordon has to miss a huge chunk of time with his hand injury. The club could need a corner outfielder, and Snider fits that bill. For now Snider carries little immediate fantasy value, but if you have a very deep dynasty league you may want to consider holding Snider as an option.

Fantasy Tip: Orlando had seven home runs and three stolen bases in limited time (241 at-bats) in 2015. There's very limited upside for the 30-year-old, but more playing time to start the season could make him useful for stolen bases in deep mixed and AL-only formats.

Fantasy Tip: Span was having a great season for Washington (.301-5-22) with 11 stolen bases before an injury derailed his season (he only played in 61 games). He fits the Royals contact-based style of play and would fit in nicely in an outfield expected to lose Alex Gordon. Targets Span as an undervalued source of stolen bases in the middle rounds of 2016 fantasy drafts.

Fantasy Tip: Polanco ($5,100, 10.2% of cap) probably will return to the starting lineup in the next few days. Snider ($2,900, 5.8% of cap) is hitting only .200 this month but does have eight RBI during that span. Owners should be able to find better options to use in their lineups.

Fantasy Tip: Make sure to avoid Polanco ($5,300, 10.6% of cap) in all fantasy formats Sunday. He is off to a slow start this month with a .196/.241/.294 slash line through his first 12 September games. Snider ($2,900, 5.8% of cap) is nothing but a desperation source of cap relief at FantasyScore Sunday, as he has struggled to gain any traction at the dish this season and owns a .658 OPS for the year.
